Default Replaced factory horns with new FIAMM horns

Well guys, after a lot of research, I finally replaced my factory ITR horns today. I decided to go with FIAMM because I didn't want to wait for the Hella Supertones to come in and the are a lot cheaper. FIAMM is a manufacture a lot of OEM horns.

Thanks migs for the pics and the help and P Nut for the info.

Install is relative easy once you see where everything goes.

Total cost: ~$30
Parts needed:
Fiamm low horn (~$14) Can be found at Pepboys or Napa
Fiamm high horn (~$14)
16 gauge wire
Big washers (Don't know what size exactly but about as big as a quarter)
Nuts and bolt

1. Remove bumper
2. Mount horns with washers and nuts and bolt to the two middle holes in the front bumper beam
3. Remove wussy OEM horn
4. Cut the horn power wire and run wire to each of the horns.
5. Reinstall bumper
6. Honk at everyone that even looks like they are cutting you off

This is how it looked all mounted up.

Looks easy. Sounds good. Where can I get a set? Are the horns the same for civic/integra?

Sounds awesome!

I'm holding out for a Dixieland horn (a la Dukes of Hazzard) just in case I pull a Chris N lawn-dart or do like this guy:

It's in the very first post. You can find these horns from Pepboys or Napa. They are around $14 each.

$300 for the horns, $350 for the air tank and compressor. I was shopping last night.

I'm sure you can get an "L" bracket and mount both of the horns somewhere together. I bet you can even fit both of them where the OEM horn sits.

I mounted mine where the stock horn is, and the second horn, I mounted on the opposite side. That might clear the intercooler

You don't have to have both I guess, but it sounds a lot better and louder with both.
